For richer flavor, sear the beef cubes in a skillet with a little olive oil before adding them to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference. Feel free to add other vegetables like parsnips or turnips for added depth of flavor. If you are using the high setting, check the stew periodically to make sure the liquid hasn't reduced too much. Add more broth if needed.
